Polling to Receive Faxes
The FAX-L250’s polling feature allows you to request a document to be faxed to you from another fax
machine. The sender only needs to make sure the document is on his fax machine and ready to be sent:
when your FAX-L250 polls that machine, the document is sent automatically. The FAX-L250 can poll
any fax machine that supports polling. (This process does not work in reverse, however: the FAX-L250
cannot be polled by other fax machines.
Polling a fax machine
To poll another fax machine and receive a document from it, do the following:
■ Before attempting to poll a fax machine, make sure that fax machine supports
polling.
■ Your FAX-L250 cannot be polled by another fax machine.
1
Lift the handset and dial the fax number of the
fax machine you wish to poll.
¶ Use one of the dialling methods described on
page 5-15.
2
When you hear a beep, press START/COPY,
then hang up.
The FAX-L250 begins receiving the fax.
If the sender is using a Canon fax machine which has the Polling ID function, ask him
to set the Polling ID of his fax machine to 255 ( 1111 1111 binary number).
For details on the Polling ID, refer to the sender’s fax machine manual. In all other
cases the Polling ID is not a concern.
